(a) Based on the nature of intermolecular forces, classify the following solids:
Silicon carbide, Argon
(b) ZnO turns yellow on heating. Why?
(c) What is meant by groups 12-16 compounds? Give an example.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Silicon carbide (sic)=Covalent or network
Argon-Molecular (non polar)
(b) When ZnO is heated, it loses oxygen
`ZnOtoZn^(2+)+(1)/(2)O_(2)+2e^(-)`
`Zn^(2+)` ions are entrapped in the interstitial voids and `e^(-)` s in the neighbouring interstitial voids to maintain electrical neutrality. this gives rise to metal excess defect. due to the presence of `e^(-)`s in voids, the colour is yellow.
(c) Semiconductors which are prepared by combination of elements of group 12 and group.

While travelling back to his residence in the car, Dr. Pathak was caught up in a thunderstorm. It became very dark. He stopped driving the car the waited for thunderstom to stop. Suddenly he noticed a child walking alone on the road. He asked the boy to come inside the car till the thunderstorm stopped. Dr. Pathak dropped the boy at his residence. The boy insisted that Dr. Pathak should meet hsi parents. The parents expressed their gratitude to Dr. Pathak for his concern for safety of the child. Answer the following questions based on the above information: (a) Why is it safer to sit inside a car during a thunderstorm? (b) Which two values are displayed by Dr. Pathak in his actions? (c ) Which values are reflected in parents response to Dr. Pathak ? (d) Give an example of a similar action on your part in the past from everyday life.

A white crystalline compound (X) swells open heating and gives violet-coloured flame. Its aqueous solution gives the following reactions : (a) A white precipitate is formed, with BaCl_(2) in presence of HCl . (b) When treated with excess of NH_(4) OH , it gives white gelatinous precipitate. the white precipitate dissolves in NaOH and reappears on boiling with concentrated solution of NH_(4) Cl . ( c) It gives yellow precipitate with cobaltinitrite solution. Identify (X) and explain the reaction at steps a, b and c .
